Amanita muscaria mushrooms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanita_muscaria#/media/File:2006-10-25_Amanita_muscaria_crop.jpg Use of psychoactive compounds: – Asia, Africa,Indonesia, Latin America (incl. Mexico), – (S.America:Argentina,Bolivia,Brazil,Chile,Colombia,Ecquador,Guyanna,Parquay,Peru,Suriname,Uraguay,Venezuela) – (C.America:Belize,Costa Rica,El Salvador,Equador,Guatemala,Honduras,Nicaragua,Panama) – Muscimol (Agarin, Pantherine) is the major psychoactive alkaloid present in many mushrooms of the Amanita genus. Unlike psilocybin, a tryptamine, muscimol is a potent, selective agonist of the GABAAreceptor. – Amanita muscaria contains two main active ingredients, Ibotenic acid and its derivative Muscimol. Muscimol is the product of the decarboxylation or drying of ibotenic acid and it is thought that muscimol is as much as ten times more potent than ibotenic acid.)
